This presentation contains statements that do not directly or exclusively relate to historical facts. These statements are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements can typically be identified by the use of forward-looking words, such as "will," "may," "could," "project," "believe," "anticipate," "expect," "estimate," "continue," "intend," "potential," "plan," "forecast" and similar terms. These statements are based upon Berkshire Hathaway Energy Company (BHE) and its subsidiaries, PacifiCorp and its subsidiaries, MidAmerican Funding, LLC and its subsidiaries, MidAmerican Energy Company, Nevada Power Company and its subsidiaries or Sierra Pacific Power Company and its subsidiaries (collectively, the Registrants), as applicable, current intentions, assumptions, expectations and beliefs and are subject to risks, uncertainties and other important factors. Many of these factors are outside the control of each Registrant and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These factors include, among others: – general economic, political and business conditions, as well as changes in, and compliance with, laws and regulations, including income tax reform, initiatives regarding deregulation and restructuring of the utility industry, and reliability and safety standards, affecting the respective Registrant's operations or related industries; – changes in, and compliance with, environmental laws, regulations, decisions and policies that could, among other items, increase operating and capital costs, reduce facility output, accelerate facility retirements or delay facility construction or acquisition; – the outcome of regulatory rate reviews and other proceedings conducted by regulatory agencies or other governmental and legal bodies and the respective Registrant's ability to recover costs through rates in a timely manner; – changes in economic, industry, competition or weather conditions, as well as demographic trends, new technologies and various conservation, energy efficiency and private generation measures and programs, that could affect customer growth and usage, electricity and natural gas supply
– performance, availability and ongoing operation of the respective Registrant's facilities, including facilities not operated by the Registrants, due to the impacts of market conditions, outages and repairs, transmission constraints, weather, including wind, solar and hydroelectric conditions, and
– the effects of catastrophic and other unforeseen events, which may be caused by factors beyond the control of each respective Registrant or by a breakdown or failure of the Registrants' operating assets, including severe storms, floods, fires, earthquakes, explosions, landslides, an electromagnetic pulse, mining incidents, litigation, wars, terrorism, embargoes, and cyber security attacks, data security breaches, disruptions, or
– a high degree of variance between actual and forecasted load or generation that could impact a Registrant's hedging strategy and the cost of balancing its generation resources with its retail load obligations; – changes in prices, availability and demand for wholesale electricity, coal, natural gas, other fuel sources and fuel transportation that could have a significant impact on generating capacity and energy costs; – the financial condition and creditworthiness of the respective Registrant's significant customers and suppliers; – changes in business strategy or development plans; – availability, terms and deployment of capital, including reductions in demand for investment-grade commercial paper, debt securities and other sources of debt financing and volatility in interest rates; – changes in the respective Registrant's credit ratings; – risks relating to nuclear generation, including unique operational, closure and decommissioning risks;

43% of our businesses’ owned generation capacity (operating and under construction) comes from non-carbon resources – Through September 30, 2019, Berkshire Hathaway Energy has spent $28.2 billion on renewable energy, and has made commitments to spend an additional $6 billion on wind generation by 2022 – The America Wind Energy Association’s 2019 Annual Market Report listed Berkshire Hathaway Energy as the largest investor-owned utility of regulated operating wind-power capacity – As we advance sustainable energy solutions, we are helping our customers achieve their sustainability goals and reduce environmental impact through increasing the amount of renewable energy we generate, empowering customers to conserve and manage their energy use, and partnering with them on unique projects
net-zero residential multi-family community that will be partially powered by 5 megawatts of
12.6 megawatt-hours of energy storage that is controlled by Rocky Mountain Power for the benefit of the community and the broader grid as a real-time dispatchable distributed energy solution – MidAmerican Energy is the largest owner in the U.S. of rate-regulated wind capacity, with 6,803 MW in operation or under construction. In 2018, MidAmerican Energy generated wind energy equivalent to approximately 51% of its Iowa customers’ annual retail electric usage. Once Wind XI, Wind XII, and the Wind XII expansion are completed (expected late 2020) adding up to 2,796 MW of wind generation, MidAmerican Energy is expected to meet 100% of its Iowa and South Dakota customers’ energy use on an annual basis with renewable, zero-carbon energy, becoming the first major utility in the U.S. to do so for its customers

facilities, acquire 950 MW of new wind projects, add 200 MW of wind procured through a power purchase agreement and build a new 140-mile, 500 kV transmission line. The projects are on schedule to be placed in service by year-end 2020 to deliver benefits to customers and improve transmission transfer capacity and reliability. In October 2019, PacifiCorp filed its Integrated Resource Plan, which includes the addition of more than 4,600 MW of new wind generation, 6,300 MW of new solar generation, 2,800 MW of battery storage, and nearly 4,500 MW of coal plant retirements through 2038
enter into power purchase agreements to procure generation from nearly 2,200 MW of solar generation and almost 700 MW of battery storage by 2024. Beyond 2024, the resource plan includes nearly 2,000 MW of additional solar generation and 100 MW of geothermal generation through 2038 which is consistent with Nevada’s energy policy to increase the amount of renewable energy. Nevada Power is retiring its last coal unit by year end 2019
capacity portfolio from 58% in 2006 to 26% as of September 30, 2019. Since 2013, Berkshire Hathaway Energy has retired or has plans to retire approximately 6,400 MW (61% reduction) of coal generation capacity by 2038
leak detection programs are designed to minimize the release of methane emissions. These leading practices resulted in the gas transmission pipelines’ combined leak rates, measured as a percentage of throughput, of 0.05% in 2018, which is significantly less than the industry average and goal of the ONE Future Initiative of 1%

2023 – Ofgem’s current view of the cost of equity for Transmission and Gas Distribution 2 (T1/GD2, which is 2 years ahead of ED2), is 4.3% plus CPIH indexation alongside tougher targets, weaker incentives and introducing a backstop return adjustment mechanism – Ofgem has made moves in the right direction from initial T1/GD2 proposals, and we believe there is scope to get to a fair price control with sufficiently strong incentives. ED2 starts later, faces more change from decarbonization and impacts more companies; all of these factors give scope for improvements in the price control at ED2 compared to T2/GD2 – Smart meter rental business has been a success from its initial launch in April 2014, with the company securing contracts to deploy 3.5 million meters before the end of 2021, resulting in total capital deployed
